tanning and your health
Just as with natural sunlight, the tanning process takes some time. The first effect only becomes
visible after a few sessions (see section ‘Tanning sessions: how often and how long?’).
Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or artificial light from your tanning appliance) can
cause sunburn.
Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of
a tanning appliance may increase the risk of skin and eye problems. The degree to which these
effects occur is determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the exposure on the one hand
and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other.
The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV light, the higher the risk of keratitis,
conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts, premature skin ageing and the development of skin
tumours will be. Some medications and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin.
Therefore it is highly important:
that you follow the instructions in chapter ‘Important’ and section ‘Tanning sessions: how often
and how long?’;
that the tanning distance (distance between the UV filter and the body) is 70cm.
that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (i.e. 17 hours or 1020
minutes);
that you always wear the goggles provided while you are tanning.
tanning sessions: how often and how long?
Do not take more than one tanning session a day, over a period of 5 to 10 days.
Take a break of at least 48 hours between the first and the second session.
After this 5 to 10-day course, we advise you to stop tanning for a while.
Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan. You can then
start a new course.
If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue with one or
two tanning sessions a week.
Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you continue tanning on a lower
frequency, always keep in mind that you must not exceed the maximum number of tanning
hours.
For this appliance the maximum is 17 tanning hours (=1020 minutes) a year.
If you have stopped a course and have not continued with it for a long period, do not proceed
with the remaining number of sessions of this course but start a new course.
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with a 7-minute session on the first day and a 20-minute
session on the nine following days.
The entire course then lasts (1 x 7 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 187 minutes.
This means you can take 5 of these courses in a year, as 5 x 187 minutes = 935 minutes
Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each separate part or side of the body
that is tanned (e.g. the back or front of the body).
Tip: For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so that the sides of your body
are better exposed to the tanning light.
Tip: If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream.
